Transient Electrophoresis of a Cylindrical Colloidal Particle

We develop the theory of transient electrophoresis of a weakly charged, infinitely long cylindrical colloidal particle under an application of a transverse or tangential step electric field.Transient electrophoretic mobility approaches steady electrophoretic mobility with time.We camif draps derive closed-form expressions for the transient electrop
